    Go back to cougarbored you goat shit slurping prick. And I say that with love.
    OK well hail to Viking, clearly the only man in America who knows the deepest inner workings of the Big 12 and Pac 12 simultaneously, I'll defer to you.

    And I've been here since cougarguard's infancy, a couple scary swear words aren't going to scare me off.

        He sure said a lot without saying much. I can see why most Universities choose the 'no comment ' route.

        • FYI:

          When I raced for BYU, we flew commercial, never chartered. But, that was over ten years ago.

          I never checked luggage...I was to afraid my spikes would end up in Bogota. The trainer that came with us had one big bag that she brought (her massages hurt like hell).

          In track, not much is checked that couldn't fit in a normal suitcase. Javelins and pole vault. The pole vault could cause issues, being 16 feet or so.

It's also plausible that they could substitute Kansas/Missouri for BYU (especially since they passed on BYU once already) and pick up the Kansas City/St. Louis Market. Or maybe BYU is in and OSU is left out.
            I'll be blunt. If this happens and the Big East stuff doesn't look favorable, KU will beat out OSU/BYU/Tech for the last spot in the PAC 16. We bring a new market(KC), a franchise(JayhawkBB), billion $ endowment, AAU membership, a 110 history w/ OU, a strong appeal to Pac 12 members UCLA/Arizona. Utah has exactly zero pull in the Pac X. Plus, we've been in and won a BCS bowl in the last 5 years which is more than Tech/OSU/BYU have done. The only thing that will prevent this is incompetence in KU's administration or the Kansas Legislature (trying to force us to drag Ksuck along).

            Don't worry, though. When all this settles down, we're likely to see the first 16 team league centered on the Great Plains w/ its headquarters in Irving Tx, and it will include BYU/KU/OU/Tx. Darth Dodds will do what it takes to keep the Whorns in a Tx centric conference. Larry Scott will end up deciding between UNLV and SanDiegoSt for membership in the Pac 16.

                Hey, vike, this board has always had an anything-goes policy, but as a consequence users are expected to conduct themselves with at least a little restraint. Just a heads-up.

                  He's a really nice guy that likes to tell it like he sees it...and it appears he might be right, this time at least.

                    Nope, that's not what he said. It was pretty clear what Snoopy meant. He doesn't want the Utes to have to play Texas.

                      Once upon a time we had another guy who would call it like he saw it,,,.and coincidentally he's not here anymore.

                        I can't speak for LAU but as for me I want the cali schools.

                        • Just an observation, but people complaining about road trip locales are not really known for traveling to many games, if any. I don't get the concern.

                            This looks more like a shot across the blow of ND or the tool ND needs to take to it's Alumni for a vote.

                            there isn't much that goes on between TX and OU they both aren't aware of. If there was any serious falling out it would be NU/TX x3.

                              Ok, ok, the punishment did not fit the crime. I probably use the f word in normal conversation like a 14-year old from Anaheim uses "like", so I lose sense of how truly offensive I can get. So, Hsuaru, though I think you should focus your efforts on Cougarbored and not amongst our kind (though I might be the only of that "kind" here), I should not have called you a Fu-kwad, nor should I have insinuated anything about your potentially disgusting habits.

                              I do not apologize for calling you a prick, however.

                              Btw, is there no one here who has seen Pineapple Express at least 20 times like I have and picked up on that very explicit inside joke??

                              • Gaffords, you're a fellow Texan...am I wrong in my assumption that legislators in Austin couldn't care less if UT goes, that TTU has to go, too?? I mean, Since when was Tech any sort of sacred cow in Texas (sorry CC...)???

                                In one scenario, the Big 12 survives by merging with the Big East and weening some of their lesser brethren and all in, everyone might be happy.

                                I do agree this could be a ploy to get ND off its Irish dancing ass.

                                If there's a PAC16, BYU goes. The ESPN connection is too strong.
